Interesting Fact - Finding Money
According to a study conducted by TopCashback website, on average, in 2015 pedestrians in the UK picked up £5.45 each in dropped
change, and one in 20 managed to find £20.
(However, millions of Brits would not stoop to pick up anything less than 50p dropped on the floor: only 4 in 10 people would bother to bend down to pick up a penny, and most would ignore anything that wasn't silver.
1 in 3 people said they would not pick up any cash dropped as in their eyes it would be stealing, however 8 in 10 Brits applied the finders-keepers rule, but they were unsur about how much they would pocket if no-one was around. Most agreed that anything over £10 and they would hand it into the police, or give the cash to charity or a homeless person.
6 in 10 would hand in money left at a cash point by mistake, but only a fifth would run after the person who absent mindedly walked off without it. Scarily 1 in 10 would quietly pop it into their purse or wallet.
I will admit, I picked up a 50p piece on holiday, and I never even thought about handing it into the police. I just popped it into the first charity collection box I saw.)
